Toronto-based SecureKey is partnering with IBM to develop a digital identity network based on IBM’s blockchain technology.

The network will make it easier for customers to securely verify their identity with IBM’s blockchain service, which is built on the Linux Foundation’s open source HyperLedger Fabric 1.0. The company says Hyperledger Fabric, as a permissioned blockchain, is essential to delivering services that can comply with data and confidentiality regulations.
